At first blush, the article appears to be about the election for the next Pope, although of course that hasn't begun.

And then you get a paragraph like this, talking about the frontrunners (via Google translate):

The "indomitable peeled prelate of Monza and Brianaza"? Take a guess. It's Berlusconi.

And then her's how the next two candidates are identified:

Out of the two main poles is very strong the hilarious chamberlain of Genoa , that consensus of well 17 cardinals, pulling the troops of the line that leads from the sober and rigorous Cardinal Milan already apostolic nuncio in Brussels , stopped at 10-11 Cardinals ( of these, eight are directly supporting him and 2 prefer the grizzled and devoted Archbishop of Bologna )
